Parents need to know that Eiffel is a French fictionalized historical romantic drama -- about the creation of the Eiffel Tower in Paris during the late 1800s -- with passionate sex scenes and nudity. As well as the historical element of the story, the film focuses on a fictional love story involving engineer Gustave Eiffel (Romain Duris) and Adrienne Bourgès (Emily Mackey), a former love of Eiffel's. The pair are seen having sex on a number of occasions, one of which is quite graphic and features topless nudity. Many characters smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, with one party being particularly rowdy. Eiffel is a widowed single father who is charismatic, confident, and determined. He occasionally loses his temper but is generally caring. Potentially distressing scenes include two river rescues and a pregnant woman losing her child after being accidentally impaled on a spike. The engineering and design scenes are fascinating and show how impressive a structure the Eiffel Tower is. The film is in French with English subtitles and an English dubbed version is also available.
